Iam starting to think USPS works with package scammers. I have cameras over my house, however a lot of my packages are claimed delivered but on checking nothing was delivered

Sent two day priority from Wisconsin to Georgia. Sent on December 13th, 2021. Arrived on December 22nd, 2021. Checked tracking and said it was delivered on time, December 15th, 2021.
Not sure how they can do that when indeed it was not delivered.
I asked for an explanation. Here's what they said. Was probably delivered, but to the wrong house. They probably gave it back to the carrier to be delivered to the correct house. Either way, not their problem, no refund as their system said it was delivered. In other wards, doesn't matter if it goes to the correct recipient, they just have to deliver to somewhere!
One may think this was a fluke. No way. My son sent his two day priority on December 13th from Indiana to same address in Georgia. His arrived on January 5th, 2022.
At least the USPS is consistent. They should be embarrassed.

USPS insurance is a scam. You can purchase insurance but when they damage your package they refuse to pay. I would rate them at 0 stars if it was possible. If you need something to arrive undamaged or with reputable insurance, DO NOT USE THE USPS.

Very slow service and if they don't get with the program USPS may have trouble getting customers. I really would like for them to spend up the service.

We only receive our mail twice a week! The Pony Express would be more dependable. Postal service does not leave packages on our porch - they try to jam it into our mailbox.

I sell a lot on Ebay & use USPS.COM for my shipping supplies. They are delivered to my door, usually within 2 days. With their free priority mail boxes, I no longer need ti buy as much packing tape.

I thought I was being smart getting my granddaughters packages in the mail 2 weeks before Christmas. I was told if I went with ground shipping it would never get there before Christmas. So I paid for the priority mailing and the clerk assured me it would be there December 16th. It's December 20th and my granddaughters package still showing 2/3s of the way there and no idea when or even where it is now. I won't die because of it but it does break my heart. I don't get to spend much time with these two granddaughters and this was very special to me to be able to sent them something. I don't have alot of money so if it is lost I can't replace it for the lousy $50 insurance that priority mail offers.

So I sent my best friend a get well package with a book on tape, a couple CDs, some supplements, and some cute other items. It was an expensive box but I figured no to insurance because nothing could break. I bubbled everything and double wrapped. Guess what she got? The card……. Thieves work there. I would not use them again. UPS from now on.
JUST A HEADS UP, IF YOU FEEL PRESSURED TO GET INSURANCE, SEND THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE.

Worst Mailing Company
April 30, 2022

I wish I could leave zero stars. I hate that all my mail comes through usps only because it never works out. They can't even deliver a package of stickers correctly. I have had 7 issues with USPS and their employees are never helpful and usually never know what's going on. When they supposedly can't deliver packages to my apartment and I go and get them, they almost gave me someone else's package! HOW DO YOU GUYS MESS UP EVERY SINGLE TIME?! Now my package says delivered and it's no where to be found. This mailing service is TERRIBLE!(:

The voice menu NEVER has any option that suits my needs even remotely AND there's no option to be called back when the hold time is ridiculously long as it ALWAYS is! Clearly USPS just wants to deter everyone from reaching them with their issues and doesn't respect anyone else's time WHATSOEVER. Also their change of address page is not working.

I ordered an item from a company in New York December 4, it was sent through USPS Fast Track and today is December 28 and its still sitting at the New Jersey post office, I could have driven to New York and back for this Christmas present faster than USPS can deliver - I called the company and they were distraught and will never use USPS again. This government org should be ashamed of itself, because now I have to reship what's being sent because the gift did not turn up in time and my daughter already left to go back home. UNREAL!

PLEASE go with #USPS on Tweeter, Instagram, and Facebook to publicly talk about your experiences. Then, contact your state senators to follow up on your cases. They will offer you free lawyer to take your rights. Never stop fighting for your rights. Otherwise, they will continue stealing your belongings.
USPS stole a 45 lb package that I mailed from their office in NY. There were 60 different items in my package. The status says that my package is in the mail recovery center. I have talked to 20 different supervisor and manager. Talked to mail recovery center (dead mail) supervisor more than 10 times. Went there is person. Asked for security camera check. Submitted 8 missing mail requests with all the information, brand, color, size, picture of each item and document. The only thing I kept hearing was that they were going to sell my stuff in an auction soon! They could not find my package because they stole it. They did not offer me an insurance in the office when I was mailing my package. Never said they would not compensate me if any thing goes wrong with my uninsured package. Now, they are hiding behind their internally hidden regulation for not giving me a cent. Thieves. God damn you and your corporation thieves.

Payed for overnight shipping on documents and they disappeared a months' worth of work and prep and needed a signature and return they lost the package, i have never never heard such a thing. The law firm
Was stunned at the answer which was oh well well refund your 30$. Are you $#*!ting me that makes it alright. DO NOT USE THIS POSTAL SERVICE, THEY SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN, after over a hundred years in business and you still cant get packages to destinations when amazon can, you don't deserve to be in business.

Don't receive my mail
September 8, 2022

I have the informed delivery but I do not receive the mail that I am supposed to get. Today is Thursday and I still haven't received the mail that I should have received last Saturday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday which is beyond ridiculous.The path to my mailbox is unobstructed and we don't have dogs running loose so I don't know why the mailperson isn't delivering my mail but there is no excuse for it.

HORRIBLE SERVICE
June 5, 2020

DON'T USE USPS AT ALL! THEY ARE THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD. YOUR PACKAGE WILL NEVER REACH YOUR FINAL DESTINATION. IN MY OPINION THIS SHIPPING COMPANY SHOULD HONESTLY BE SHUT DOWN. THEY NEVER CONTACT YOU TO INFORM YOU ABOUT YOUR PACKAGE. IM HERE WAITING FOR A PACKAGE THAT HAS BEEN SENT OUT APRIL 14 2020 AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS IN COUNTING AND I'VE YET TO HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ANY INFO ABOUT MY PACKAGE I HAVE FILED A ONLINE COMPLAINT A MONTH AGO. I WANT MY STUFF SIMPLE AS THAT. I CALLED 3 DIFFERENT AGENTS AND ALL OF THEM ARE NO HELP WHATS SO EVER. I'VE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH. I WILL KEEP IN MIND TO NEVER EVER USE USPS AGAIN. ONE OF THE THREE AGENTS SAID TO ME "IT NEVER LEFT THE AIRPORT" AND THAT WAS OVER 3 WEEKS AGO, SO TILL THIS DAY THERE IS NO INFO ON MY END. THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES I EVER HAD. PLEASE DO SOMETHING UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE!

Ignorance of the LAW!
February 29, 2024

This USPS I have experienced myself that I'm mad at. The workers there didn't respect our 1st Amendment right for recording in the building when there are rules posted up on the board which is Poster #7. You guys need to email or send a paper to the Poster Master saying there are rules and laws for recording in public saying that we can and are allowed to record in public. Also, state in the email/paper to all USPS in the United States that, it's the 1st Amendment and tell em' to search up what the 1st Amendment is. This Postal Service is $#*!.

I will never use usps again for any packages, my package was 20-30 minutes away, then decided to bring it south to Portland for the night, then back to woodland that morning followed by shipping it across the United States over to New York for NO REASON I'll be lucky to receive this by the 31st. Always have had bad experiences when using usps but now I'm going to be calling companies whenever ups isn't available for shipping and try to pay extra to get ups for shipping.
